I had an amazing time at the hostel. The hostel is located right on the beach, and all of the facilities are amazing. As a volunteer, you are not only living with other volunteers but with the staff aswell. This gives you an amazing opportunity to connect with locals and practice Spanish. I worked in the bar, and it was a great opportunity to connect with guests and learn more about making cocktails. The food is also amazing, and you are able to chose from almost any item on the menu.

Costena Beach is a lively spot with friendly staff, great for socializing & practicing Spanish. However, the volunteer dorms are very rustic, which made it hard to feel fully comfortable there especially for 4 weeks. If considering remote work, the unreliable Wi-Fi & no cell reception was challenging. Improving communication with the host & providing volunteers with more food options on the menu would be great. Lastly, if you're going for surf, reconsider because the ocean here is really rough. Overall, it's a fun spot if your ok with roughing it for a few weeks & want to socialize :)

The hostel well where should i start! lets kick this review off with the practical, the hostel is all you could ask for as a volunteer having reasonable works hours and amazing benefits and incredible perks such as great food and comfortable living conditions as well as heaps of activities to do through the hostel they truly do look after you at the hostel and hold up their end of the bargain and more! now the not so practical but so much more meaningful. the familia you will make here will last a life time and i truly hope you get to experience and love i did here. Thankyou once again the hostel:)

My experience at the hostel was phenomenal. I knew the first day I arrived that I wanted to stay longer. This place is magical from the beginning till the end. It's a place where you will feel at home. Maria the manager in charge of the volunteers will always try to make you feel at home with an open heart. Most of the staff are Colombians so this allows you to practice your Spanish while working behind the bar. The beach is peaceful and every sunset are incredible. The dorm in which we sleep hold 8 bed so I had the opportunity and luck to create a real bond with my fellow volonteer
